The Killer
A world‑class Triad assassin vows to quit after one last hit that will pay for a blinded singer’s sight‑restoring surgery, but when he’s betrayed he must ally with a rogue police officer to survive and keep his promise.
“One vicious hitman. One fierce cop. Ten thousand bullets.”
Synopsis
Jeffrey, a mob assassin, is considered one of the best in his field. He regards his profession as a calling rather than just a job. When Jennie, a nightclub singer, is blinded in the crossfire of one of his assignments, Jeffrey decides to retire after completing one final job to fund her sight-restoring surgery. However, after being double-crossed, he reluctantly teams up with a rogue police officer to set things right.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
